History Bitten [with Rick Green] || CIAS #25
Comedian Rick Green (The Frantics), co-creator of The Red Green Show and the creator of History Bites, is on the show to share his experience of trying to make pop history for television. We also talk a little Red Green, a little neo-fascism, and a little neurodivergence. We think one of those things is bad, to be clear.

Decoy Ops — Fighting Street Crime Undercover || CIAS #23
Nicole (noted friend-, host-, and Nicole-of-the-show) is back for another round of punishment. This time, it's to read a book Kelly found in a trash bag: "Decoy Ops: Fighting Street Crime Undercover", which is about what happens when imaginative kids aren't allowed to join theatre groups and are forced to become cops instead. Does this relate to the established themes of this show? As it turns out, trying to answer that question was a much more interesting journey than I bargained for!

Keep Your Head Up, Kid: The Don Cherry Story (Part 1) [with Australian Gothic] || CIAS #21
Before Shoresy, before even Letterkenny, Jared Keeso was just some unknown hockey-player turned actor...portraying friend-of-the-show Don Cherry in a TV-movie series. And he's looking GOOD doing it, folks. I mean, REALLY hot. Jules and Lucas, our Australian subject matter experts, return to the show to cover Part 1—but first, we catch up on what Grapes has gotten up to since last year's recording.

History of Football — The Horse With No Name [with Beyond the Breakers] || CIAS #19.9
Fresh off of learning about the unmitigated clownshow that was the Las Vegas Posse, we ask the question: "Okay but what if you made it really humid, too? What if you added circus animals?? What if the field tried to kill you???" We also ask the question: "How many CFL franchises do you get a crack at running into the ground with your small adult failson?" And additionally: "What do you do with your jingle after the NFL sues you to make you stop using your team name?" Not to mention: "What is the most appropriate way to write about a public figure dying in a nursing home?" We don't get a lot of good answers, but there are definitely a ton of questions. This brings us to what Francis Fukuyama was talking about when he said "the end of football history": the 1994 Grey Cup. That's it! There's simply no more football to discuss after that. All that's left is to hammer out George Stroumboulopoulos' role in the past nine episodes. Oh, and "Danton Barto" is in there.
